I love NYC. I mean, it’s energy, it’s culture, it’s grit. I love it all and I love that I get to go at least once a year! Every year my family convenes in this incredible city for a long weekend. We eat, we shop, we eat some more and then we exercise. It’s become a tradition to run the Tunnel to Towers race. It follows the path Stephen Siller, and FDNY firefighter took on 9-11 from Brooklyn, through the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel and up to the World Trade Center. It’s incredibly emotional and a really powerful thing. Fire fighters and police officers come from around the world to run, most of them in their full gear, just as Stephen Siller did. There are flags, cheerleaders, bands and some amazing patriotism.

On our first run in 2010, Chris shot some amazing footage of the race and you can see the video here. Still brings tears to my eyes.

If you’re going to be in the NYC area this Sunday, you should definitely come out! It will definitely be one of the more amazing things you’ll ever do.
